SYNOPSIS
halftone [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--count number] [--spacing number] [--sizefactor number] [--delay number] [--minmass number] [--maxmass number] [--minspeed number] [--maxspeed number] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
Draws the gravity force in each point on the screen seen through a halftone dot pattern. The gravity force is calculated from a set of moving mass points. View it from a distance for best effect.
